251. Nobody Moves!
Tyler didn’t seem to care about the question Aria had asked him. He gently brushed the strands of hair away from her eyes and nodded, his expression calm and reassuring.“Yes, Aria. I’m here,” he said softly, warming her cold hands between his palms. “Don’t worry. I’m already here, and I know for sure that nothing is going to harm you.”As he spoke, he continued smoothing her hair and rubbing her hands to keep her warm, his attention completely fixed on her.Behind him, Brantley had already risen from where he had been thrown. Quietly, he picked up the iron rod lying beside him and began to creep forward, his steps slow and careful.Tyler didn’t notice.He was still smiling at Aria, gently massaging her hand, focused only on comforting her.Within seconds, Brantley was right behind him. He lifted the iron high, preparing to strike Tyler from the back.But just as Brantley was about to bring it down, Tyler suddenly reached back and caught the iron firmly with one hand, not even turning
250. Back To Save Her!
Brantley’s grip on Aria tightened as he sneered at her. “Why are you pleading for me to let go of you? Are you that scared of me, Aria?” His eyes darkened with arrogance, as if he owned her. “I’m a changed man now. I can be better than whoever you’re married to. Just give me one chance—one yes—and I’ll take you anywhere in the world. We’ll make love again, and I promise, I’ll make sure I cum early so you won’t be in so much pain!”He leaned closer to her, his breath hot and vile, as he pinned her harder against the wall. His lips brushed against her skin, sending a sickening shiver down her spine. “I missed you, baby,” he whispered, his voice low and dangerous. “I missed the moments we had together. I missed your lips on my—”Before he could finish, Aria’s hand flew up, slapping him across the face with a sickening crack. His words died in his throat, the sting of her slap leaving him momentarily stunned.Her breath came out in sharp, ragged breaths as she brushed her hair back wit
249. Brantley?!
“Brantley?” Her voice trembled with shock, barely a whisper as she took a step back, her eyes wide in disbelief.She quickly turned away from him, pushing him roughly with both hands and yanking her jacket tighter around her shoulders, as if to protect herself from the sudden rush of fear.“You monster!” she spat, her voice shaking with fury. “How dare you walk in here and touch me like that? Do you realize I could have you arrested for multiple offenses?”Brantley chuckled, his laugh stiff, as he took another step toward her. The air between them crackled with tension. His face twisted into a cold smirk as he leaned in slightly, his tone condescending.“Hey… hey, relax, okay?” he said, raising his hands in mock surrender. “It’s been ages since we last saw each other, and you're more worried about picking a fight with me than anything else?”His fingers twitched, as though he was about to reach for her again. But Aria didn’t wait for him. In one swift motion, she reached up, her hand
248. The Man In The Restroom!
Even though the question Aria had asked was difficult for Marvin to answer, he believed it stemmed from doubt—or something similar. But he knew one thing for certain: his conscience never lied to him.He paused for a moment before responding, his voice steady but firm. “Whenever I have a strong hunch about something, it takes a long time for it to be proven wrong. And sometimes, even when it doesn’t turn out the way I expect, it still leads me to what I’m really looking for.”Aria furrowed her brows, clearly still confused. “Meaning?”Marvin met her gaze, his expression unwavering. “What I’m saying is that, one way or another, I’m sure Lu Chen is deeply connected to this case. All the evidence points to him—every single reason, including the fact that he’s the person who’s closest to your father. Those are the facts, and many more like them, that lead me to believe this is a major breakthrough. We just have to stay focused, stay positive. It doesn’t matter if it all turns out wrong.
247. Lu Chen!
Aria gathered the documents and flipped through them, her eyes skimming line after line with practiced focus. Then she froze.The first profile caught her attention.Her pupils dilated as recognition hit.“Lu Chen?”The name slipped from her lips before she could stop herself. She looked up sharply, disbelief flashing across her face.“What do you mean by this, Marvin?” she asked, her voice edged with shock. “Are you trying to say that Lu Chen is a suspect? That he’s the CEO of ABC Companies? But how is that even possible?”Marvin exhaled and ran a hand through his hair, frustration creasing his features as he tried to steady his thoughts.“I never said he is the CEO of ABC Companies, Aria,” he clarified. “I’m saying the evidence points to the possibility that he could be—and that he’s been hiding it from all of us.”Aria shook her head slowly, refusing to accept it.What was Marvin even talking about?Lu Chen was her grandfather’s personal aide—more than that, his trusted PA. A man w
246. A New Suspect!
Having taken his seat, Marvin leaned back slightly and smiled at Aria.“We might as well call today a lucky day, Aria. From the list of suspects, we’ve been able to single out the ones whose personal information deserves priority.”Aria didn’t respond immediately. Suspense clung to her expression as she waited for him to continue.“The first person I wanted you to check,” she finally said, leaning forward, “was the janitor at ABC—the one who followed Aisha to the party. I believe he should be our number one suspect. He must be at the top of the list. Don’t tell me his name wasn’t even enlisted.”Marvin didn’t answer right away. Instead, he reached into the file beside him and slid a document across the table toward her.Aria picked it up, her eyes scanning the first page before widening in shock.“And these documents,” she asked slowly, lifting her gaze to him, “who do they belong to?”“As the name indicates,” Marvin replied calmly, tapping the file with a finger, “they belong to Mr.
